Where Angels Fear To Tread

[oneirophrenia]

My god...oldskool Mentallo & The Fixer (I'm listening to Where Angels Fear To Tread [1994?]) is the very definition of the term "industrial music." "Bring To A Boil" and "Decomposed (Trampled)" are shear brilliance--incredibly complex arrangements, brutal sound textures, and jugular-gashing synth mutations--all combined with an amazingly catchy sense of rhythm and melody. You need only look to the "Angel of Death" remix of "Sacrilege" to hear the very mechanized soul of industrial grinding endlessly into machine-scoured emptiness: the hihats alone in that track sound like rivets tumbling down an empty zero-grav cargo hold....

Now listen to Commandments for the Molecular Age and weep--WEEP, I tell you!--for the fallen masters. *Le sigh*

Now that Commandments is horrible--it isn't the absolutely embarassing Love is the Law, after all...but listening to even "My Favorite Drug Related Memory" after going absolutely berzerk for "Power Struggle" is a terrible, terrible letdown.

terrorfirmasky, the next time you DJ at Ceremony, I'd better hear "Decomposed"! Or, if you REALLY have the cojones, put on the entirety of "Bring To A Boil" and let's see who's still standing by the time it's over. :)
